How do you make your coffee?

[Craftlady]

Instant French Vanilla Cappuccino - Drinking regular coffee (cream) tastes nasty to me after all these years of quitting smoking. Only time regular coffee tastes good if it's made a coffee shop.

I love my percolator. Nothing fancy. No filters to buy. No timer to set. Plug it in and off you go.

I may be the last person on the planet to say this -- I've never been to Starbucks. Can you imagine? Somehow the world keeps turning....

Ah, let me count the ways....usually just a drip during the week- as the press takes too much time.

Perhaps my fave way is turkish, in the little funny carafe on an open flame, bring it to a boil, let it sit back down, boil again, and pour into a tiny cup and sip...a teeny bit of real creme is perfection.

Then, on the weekends, Jones and I walk to Starbucks and I have a coffee there....

JMM- if you are serious, I would be happy to send you some SB coffee!

I use instant in the house, but I rarely drink it.

I have my daily coffee in the morning before I got to work from a cafe.

When I was in Holland, my ex's sister had a Senseo coffee maker, and I had to say, I really liked it, and so neat and easy to clean.

I rarely make coffee for myself at home- usually if I want a cup, I go to Starbucks or Panera...but my husband uses one of these:



With a filter in it to make individual cups. Pretty easy and turns out fairly well.

I only drink coffee at work and our admin makes it

I voted filter machine though because that's what we have in the office...actually we have a few of them for a handful of people.

I love coffee (and tea) gadgets! I have a grind-and-brew drip machine, where you put in whole-bean coffee and the coffeemaker grinds the beans and then brews the coffee. I also use a press, especially for New Orleans-style coffee with chicory. And I use this contraption--the Toddy Coffee Maker--to make a coffee concentrate that I mix with milk and ice for truly yummy iced coffee in the summer.

I don't drink coffee, which my dad thinks is a sin! Ha Ha! But I do get up and make coffee for my husband on the weekends and we have a filtered coffee maker. We grind the beans and brew it. I LOVE the smell, just hate the taste.

Timmy's all the way! I'll have a cafe mocha or a double/double for me.
Or I'll use the drip machione at home with hazelnut cream

I use a 10c filter machine (can't you tell? ) when I have leisure time in the morning. Otherwise I use the French Press. To avoid coffee bitterness, my dad (learned in the army) used to use a pinch of salt in with the grinds. I also clean the pot with vinegar once a week to remove stains and it makes a huge taste difference, My favorite though, is Dunkin Donuts. I find Starbucks too strong and have to tell the staff to fill the cup 3/4 so I can add extra cream. Love my java!
